This study introduces a new energy dissipation device with a high damping capacity for the
seismic protection of buildings. The device exploits the friction losses between a movable …

This paper describes experimental testing of an asymmetric friction connection (AFC) at the
base of a steel column such as may be used in a moment-frame. Friction/sliding surfaces …

Ductile‐jointed connections, which generally require some form of supplementary energy
dissipation to alleviate displacement response, typically employ mild steel energy …

An experimental and computational study of an 80-percent scale precast concrete 3D beam-
column joint subassembly designed with high force-to-volume (HF2V) dampers and damage …

为发展具有损伤可控和自复位性能桥梁双柱墩, 选取铅挤压阻尼器(lead-extrusion dampers,
LEDs) 为可更换耗能装置, 并通过预应力筋提供自恢复力, 组成摇摆-自复位(rocking self …

Existing welded steel moment frames are designed to tolerate substantial yielding and
plastic rotation under earthquake loads. This sacrificial design approach can lead to …

Applied cyclic imposed displacement tests are conducted on a column base weak axis
aligned asymmetric friction connection (i) in-plane, about the strong axis,(ii) out-of-plane …

This paper presents a comprehensive state-of-the-art review of the research on the design of
lead extrusion dampers (LED) and their application in the structures. Among the passive …

The flow inside a fluid damper where a piston reciprocates sinusoidally inside an outer
casing containing high-viscosity silicone oil is simulated using a finite volume method, at …

Despite their good performance in terms of their design objectives, many modern code-
prescriptive buildings built in Christchurch, New Zealand, had to be razed after the 2010 …
